In recent months, we've turned our attention to the national crisis and have teams working on making hand sanitizers. At Apeks, we donated the first batch to our local village offices, for distribution to first responders. Delta sent theirs to local medical centers and to the Gibraltar family.
We started getting requests from all over - from construction teams, to nursing homes, to farmer's markets, so we made more and are selling it at cost. Orders yours today: click here.

Delta has developed some new technology and are manufacturing the first models! The solventless Vortex Trichome Separator
(VTS) gently removes hardened trichome heads yielding a much
cleaner and more pure hash product with almost non-existent plant-particulate
contamination. The VTS-50
system utilizes cold water in a double-vortex flow.

|
Over at Apeks, the co-solvent injection module is in production and we are taking orders! The first ones off the assembly line will ship at the beginning of June and all have been sold. Contact us to order yours!

You might be wondering what the advantages are of combining Apeks Supercritical and Delta Separations. Here are just a few! - Resources: we have access to 14 service tech people and 9 engineers, from coast-to-coast
- Device agnostic: we can offer you the right system for your needs, instead of focusing on CO2 or ethanol extraction
- Scaling: be more flexible when considering both Apeks and Delta equipment! A customer who is looking to produce a shelf ready product for a dispensary can choose to start with CO2 – giving them capability to do both terpene and cannabinoid extraction for product development, then when demand warrants, expand their production platform to ethanol. Alternatively, a customer who is looking to be more in the wholesale business can start with ethanol to make bulk cannabinoids, then supplement their wholesale offerings with CO2 terpenes.

We are developing training classes in easily digestible modules. We'll use in-house talent from Delta Separations to record our Pre- and Post-Processing class. The class will be free for customers and $1,000 for not-yet customers, but fully refundable if you take the leap and purchase from us within six months! Stay tuned for more details.

With Apeks and Delta combined, you now have ten sales people at your service! They are all fully cross trained, so any of them can help discuss your processing solution, whether it's CO2 or ethanol, or a combination of both!
